Product Description

36in Weather Balloon Parachute: Home Improvement. It allows for a stable parachute deployment at ~Mach 1 when the balloon initially bursts in the vacuum of near-space. After many experimental trials with high altitude weather balloon payloads, we have arrived at this optimized parachute design. The 36in diameter parachute is designed to yield a descent rate of 1500ft/min (15mph) once back into the thicker atmosphere near sea level.
